FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has as an object a matchboarding system according to the preamble of the main claim.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

According to the present prior art the use of matchboards as wall panels or for the production of paneling (matchboards) is known.

Matchboards are also well-known as strips of wood that present a substantially rectangular cross-section and fit side by side with a tongue and groove joint to cover a wall.

It is also known that the installation of these matchboards is carried out by first fixing horizontal stringers on the walls and then nailing the matchboards, vertically joint after joint, perpendicularly onto the stringers.

Once the wall has been covered, a horizontal joint cover is nailed as an upper moulding to the ceiling and also on the floor as a skirting board.

This system is long, complex and expensive.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The scope of the present invention is to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages with the production of a new matchboarding system that can easily be fitted and installed in the form of a KIT.

Solution to the Problem and Explanation of the Invention.

-   -   The problem is resolved with the characteristics of the main         claim.     -   The sub-claims represent particularly advantageous solutions.

Advantages

In this way there is the advantage of a system comprising prefabricated elements that make it is possible to form walls made of matchboards in any form or style in a simple and fast way, simply by fitting them together and without requiring other fixing means.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The innovative character of the system can already be seen from the Figures.

In the description words such as cap are used, referring to the upper clamping profile orthogonal to the matchboards and the pillar as an end upright for containment and vertical closing or as an angled connection element (of a corner) and finally as a base or lower base profile also orthogonal like that above the matchboards.

Number References

-   -   2 upper profile of the top orthogonal to the matchboards (3).     -   11 pillar (end profile)     -   4 base.

The pillar 11 always ends with an upper block (112) and a lower block (113) for clamping to the upper and lower horizontal profiles (2, 4).

Clamping is carried out with back tongues (wall side) 131, inserted into the blocks (13) and into corresponding parallel longitudinal grooves (41) made in the back of the skirting board that together with the blocks forms the base.

The same is carried out above with the upper sealing block (12) connected to an end connector (5).

The end can be like a matchboarding end (FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6) or an “L” angle (FIGS. 3 b, 4 b, 5 b).

The details of the variants can be infinite such as the form of the groove (1 11) in the blocks (11) that are also pluggable (1 12).

Details of the shape of the “L” blocks can be seen in the forms (11 b, 111 b, 112 b) and (11 c, 111 c, 112 c).

The form of the skirting board (4) is important with its two grooves (41) and with fix profiling (42) for the head-clamping matchboards (i) as in a similar way for the upper profile (2,12).

The upper blocking system is carried out with different variants, but always with the external profiling edge at the top (12) with clamping on the sealing under-strip (5), with variant (6).

The upper under-profile (5) is substantially “T”-shaped in order to be inserted on the heads of the matchboarding (3) from the lower side and to insert the respective cog of the covering profile (frame) 2-12.

As disclosed in the claims this is substantially a matchboarding system in the form of strips of wood and substitutes, clamped side by side next to each other with a tongue and groove joint (3), said matchboardings and/or strips comprising furthermore (3):

-   -   i. a base profile such as a skirting board (4) with an interior         back groove opened upwards (i) to receive the head of the         matchboardings orthogonally (3);     -   ii. an upper profiling (2,12-59) with analogous clamping         groove (i) at the top orthogonally to the matchboardings (3);         and     -   iii. a system with end or angled pillar (11) with an upper base         (12) and a lower base (13), which with clamping tongues (S)         insert into the respective longitudinal grooves (41) made on the         back of said skirting boards (4) on the lower part and on the         corresponding top clamping profiles (5).

Advantageously said top clamping profiles (5) are substantially “T”-shaped to insert on one side (i) said matchboarding strips (3) and on the other (ii) an architrave frame (upper 2-12).

Of course the embodiment details can vary within the scope of the claims. 

1. Matchboarding system in the form of strips in wood and substitutes, fixed side by side next to each other with a tongue and groove joint, comprises: a base profile such as a skirting board comprising an interior back groove opened upwards to receive insertion of the heads of matchboardings orthogonally; an upper profiling with an analogous clamping groove at a top and orthogonal to said matchboardings; and a system with an end or angled pillar with an upper base and a lower base which, with clamping tongues, fix respective longitudinal grooves made on a back of said floor ledges on the lower part and on the corresponding top clamping profiles.
 2. Matchboarding system according to claim 1, wherein the top clamping profiles are substantially “T”-shaped to fix on one side to said matchboarding strips and on another side to an upper architrave frame.
